We are delighted to welcome Richard Williams CEO of NI Screen to deliver our lecture this year.

Richard will tell us why we’ve been seeing so much more of Northern Ireland on our screens both big and small and explain the positive effects on the wider economy. It’s a real pleasure to announce this event so soon after the Bafta win for Northern Ireland short film Boogaloo and Graham.

The event will be at the offices of Allen and Overy, Bishops Square, E1 6AD on Tue, 24th March, 7pm for 7:30pm.

The QUAL annual dinner took place on Thursday 6th November in the Crypt at St Martin-in-the-Fields with addresses from Mike Brown, Queen’s Alumnus and Managing Director of Transport for London and Professor John Brewer, Professor of Post Conflict Studies at Queen’s University Belfast. Over 60 QUAL members and guests from all generations of graduates gathered for this formal but fun evening and heard about the impressive developments at Queens over the past year and in particular the important work of the Institute for the Study of Conflict Transformation and Social Justice and new Vice Chancellor Professor Paddy Johnson’s vision for Queens in 2020. QUAL president Susan Obando-Doris updated guests on the work of QUAL over the year and handed over the chain of office to the incoming QUAL President Mr Cormac Bradley.
